THE BLOW MONKEYS with CURTIS MAYFIELD - "(CELEBRATE) THE DAY AFTER YOU" (1987)


On 30 May 1987 this hopeful Blow Monkeys single featuring Curtis Mayfield reached number 52 in the UK charts. Two weeks later Margaret Thatcher led the Conservatives to a third consecutive election victory and any celebration by Dr. Robert, Curtis and a bunch of northern soul spinning dancers was put on hold.

So, that's Mrs Thatch gone yesterday, Curtis sadly gone, but the Blow Monkeys - you may be surprised to learn - are still around. Their new single, "Oh My" is here.
